Represent Wellington With Pride
Wellington Hockey’s representative programmes give motivated athletes the opportunity to challenge themselves in a higher performance environment. Players train with experienced coaches, develop technical and tactical skills, build confidence and connection with others on similar pathways, and compete against strong opposition from across Aotearoa at national tournaments and representative events.
Selection into representative teams acknowledges player effort, commitment and potential, and supports long-term development across multiple stages from U16 and U18 through U21, National Hockey Championship and Masters. Whether taking the first step into representative sport or striving to compete at senior level, each pathway provides meaningful experiences that grow players both on and off the field.
